This past week we had thousands of flying visitors in our front yard. There were so many that it concerned me. I whispered to the kids to go into the house quickly & quietly. The kids and I had been outside setting out plates and bowls for a picnic lunch when we heard a loud […]
As the new school year begins at the “It Is Finished” Bible Institute and Seminary, things look a little different. There are fewer students sitting in class due to some of the recent graduates serving in different internship positions around Thailand. The schedules are different as the missionaries stretch to translate new courses for the […]
Living in Japan has taught me to take better advantage of the opportunities God gives me to share my faith and invite people to church. I’ve been asked countless times, “Why are you living in Japan?” Such a simple question, yet what a huge opportunity! We’re here for just one reason - to share God’s […]

In the States the month of May means spring time, rain, flowers and graduations. Soon the caps & gowns will commence and summer vacation is around the corner. While many get their diplomas in America, here in Malawi, Africa we are donning our stocking caps and unpacking the down.
Our rainy season has passed and the […]
One of many changes I had to get used to when I moved to Malawi was sleeping under a mosquito net at night. At first, it seemed so confining, but the net has grown into a type of security blanket for me keeping out not only mosquitoes but also every other creepy crawly creature that […]
Free clinics are conducted in various areas of Far and Mid-Western Nepal about every two months with funds provided by the Humanitarian Aid Committee. These clincs serve as a bridge for the spead of the gospel. It should be noted that the Darchula District, where the free clinic was conducted, is in the extreme Northwestern […]
Beautiful Saviour, Blantyre, Malawi, has a rare privilege. We have brothers and sisters in the faith from various African countries. Our English worship is the common language that brings us together. In this multi-language African city we feel the curse of Babel. So often there is confusion of tongues, and from that comes misunderstanding and […]
My first trip out to one of our clinic sites during my first week in Malawi is an experience I will never forget. Our devotion began with a hymn out of the Chichewa hymnal, and I was brought close to tears. I couldn’t understand a word of it, but the sound of so many voices […]
After spending the last 16 years working in the public health sector, I became very aware of the missing component in health care delivery. We focus primarily on how to fix the problems, but within specific guidelines. As a Christian I found many opportunities to share my faith with people who were suffering and dying […]
Please take a close look at this picture. You can see and identify three parts: a seminary, a 1967 graduate of that same seminary, and a picture of 6 young Japanese Christians.
Why were these three pictures put together into one slide, and why was that slide shown to the members of the LECC on April […]
We ended up at the Doctors office this week. Maria came down with a fever on Monday night and was complaining that her ear hurt. She did not sleep well Monday night and by Tuesday morning I knew she was not well. She saw the Dr. that afternoon who was very friendly and nice. I […]
